Synopsis

Two girls from different worlds try to become friends in one of Britain’s most racially segregated towns.

Dewsbury in West Yorkshire is home to a growing Asian Muslim community with parts of the town 98% Asian, whilst other parts remain totally white.

Told with honesty and humour, we follow sixteen year old Siobhan and seventeen year old Farhana as they cross the racial divide and step into one another’s world for the very first time. What unfolds is a timely story that highlights the complexities of integration.

As the girls face their differences they find themselves navigating both family and community concerns. Pushed beyond their comfort zone, how far can their friendship go?
